1) you use MacOS 9 ?
If no then RAM probably not an issue.

2) May be "embedded Font Cast member" cannot be stored?
You use SetMedia() correct?
I know that at least quickTime cast members cannot be saved via SetMedia.

3) if you want delete BLOB value on disk, you need do (pseudo code)

    curs.DeleteBLOB( "blob", ...)
    curs.Update()
